WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!

We’re supporting one of our adults at You First who is preparing to move into a new home — and we’re on the lookout for sturdy moving boxes to help make the transition smooth and stress-free.
If you have any spare boxes (medium or large), packing materials, or storage tubs you’re happy to donate, we’d be incredibly grateful. Every little bit helps!
🧡 This is a great opportunity to support someone in a meaningful, practical way. Please drop us a message on the comments or feel free to comment and i can send you a message 😁

At You First Support Services, we believe mental health is just as vital as physical health. Whether you're a carer, a colleague, a person supported, or a community member, your mental wellbeing matters. Every voice deserves to be heard, every story respected, and every person supported with compassion and dignity.
This year’s theme reminds us: Mental health is a universal human right.
Let’s continue to build safe, inclusive spaces where people feel empowered to speak up, seek help, and thrive.
💬 Share your thoughts.
🤝 Check in with someone.
🌱 Take a moment for yourself.
Together, we’re creating a culture of care—where support isn’t just offered, it’s lived.

Hi Everyone

As you know (at least I hope you know!) You First has a small You Tube channel. Small, but growing is the way I like to think about it!

I have made a new video, that has gone live today, where I talk about the Team Member Survey, and reflect on comments and scores you gave You First last month. I am really pleased to say that You First currently has a team satisfaction rating of 88%, which is something I am really proud of.

The survey is each team members opportunity to respond directly to me, and the comments and scores really do help to inform You First direction.

Do enjoy the video, and please subscribe to the channel, that will help us keep it growing.
